Overview
Green Button Data (GBD) is required for ALL Sunrun deals in the PG&E territory. Unlike other utility companies, PG&E does not include the annual kwh graph broken down by months. Through GBD, the homeowner can allow a third party to have access to this information.

Process
- On PGE’s website, have the homeowner log in to their account.
- If they don’t remember their sign-in information, they’ll need to use the Forgot Username or Password steps (which we won’t detail here, just have them follow the instructions).
- Select Energy Usage Details
- Select Download My Data
- Select the dropdown on the top right and choose Energy Usage Details. Then, there will be a “Green Button Download my data” option underneath the chart.
- Export Date Range “Today-12 months ago”
- Choose the range of dates that satisfy Sunrun’s 12-month kWh usage requirement. Usually, that will be from today to 12 months ago. The export Format should be CSV, which can be opened in Excel or Google Sheets. Save it and share it with Sunrun and you’re good to go!
